All decent people should get off X and let it continue to fester. The people who continue to use it despite claiming to be against everything it and Musk stand for are a part of the problem.
The problem is, it'll take forever to die. Just like Facebook. Most of the people who are aware, or even care about these kinds of problems are a small slice of the user base. Most will never hear about it because they don't give a shit
Yeah, I don't see a lot of people jumping ship until something even bigger happens or an alternative can slow bleed them well enough.
My friend got the SBF news off of Ex-Twitter as well as getting NBA news as well. He doesn't like Musk but definitely won't change his routine.

oh right that's something I completely forgot about! I don't use the site/app myself.
Hard pushing accounts and I think charging an annual fee to deter bots can push others out harder.
it would make me so happy to see Ex-Twitter fail.
Getting normies onto federated platforms is going to be a real problem. With centralized services, all people need to know is they type in the name "Twitter" or "Reddit" to Google and click the first link. They've probably seen the site and browsed it already. What federated platforms need is a flagship instance that people can easily find. In order to be a real competitor, that instance needs to be able to handle millions of active users.
I'm "on" Facebook - but barely. I have to be though as it's the only way to reliably contact some relatives overseas.
It doesn't bother me though, maybe I have target ads on there, but I can't see them, and they never get to load as I rarely open the platform until I need it.
